National Gleaning Day is September 21-28
Help feed the hungry in your community–get out and glean!
To glean means to “gather grain or other produce left by reapers.” A rather old-fashioned sounding definition for a hip movement happening across the country, aimed at making healthy, organic produce available for all.
